Thank you. The logical inconsistency and obsession with how other people spend their money is mind-boggling.

To me, the most disturbing part was the *reaction* to those who were bothered by the scene — and how that reaction was VERY different than the reactions to those bothered by other violent scenes.

I totally get that.

A friend of mine bought a house recently without a realtor, said it was near impossible to get an agent to even let him see a property. That’s the really fucked up part. A large portion of houses essentially become unavailable to you unless you have someone within the system!

A priest at my in-laws’ church said during the homily once that pre-marital co-habitation is as bad as murder. Also that Christians in the U.S. are more in danger than those in ISIS-occupied areas because, in the U.S., Christians are “under fire” from gay marriage.

I am actually pretty impressed with the maxipad trick!

I’ve got the dark circles (hereditary, thanks mom!) and get “you look tired” allllllllllLLLLllll the time, especially from men.

I respect Buc-ees for their fudge, jerky and pristine bathrooms. As well as their insane stock of giant crosses and TX decor (which my husband and I have long talked about using to ironically decorate our guest room in Austin).

Yes. When we drive from Austin to Dallas, we stop at Fazoli’s in Waco (hey it’s going extinct, it’s hard to find anywhere else!) and at the Czech stop to stuff our faces with kolaches. We’ll usually make a Buc-ee’s stop in Temple as well.

My parents also want to make this pilgrimage.

As my friend likes to put it, Seattle is plagued by “Ooh-can-I-touch-your-hair?” racism.

All aboard the racism train!

I’m 33 and DEFINITELY got the nostalgia-feels. The show felt like home to me. Even though I didn’t see Goonies, ET, et al right when they came out, I grew up on those movies.

And she won’t, even after her community service. She lacks the emotional complexity, intelligence and maturity to learn from this.

The rescue was quite low-tech, given the inability to use radios and phones in the caves. In other words, the rescuers crawled in and found them.

This here is actually the best account:

Your story has me taking deep breaths.

There’s a network of caves near me (the main entrance to which the city has blocked off). The networks spread underneath practically half the city. To get to the very end, it takes 8 hours and, for 90 percent of it, you can’t stand up. And for most of that, you can’t even SIT up. So, for 8 hours you are either walking…

I went to Botswana as a regular old tourist a few years back, and everyone was like, “Oooh Africa! Are you going to volunteer there? Build a library/church/orphanage or teach English?”

If you’re willing to shell out a bit, I bought a pair of Clarks gladiator sandals (the exact ones I got aren’t on the site anymore, but there are some similar ones). I walked all over India in them, no blisters and they were able to be cleaned with a wet wipe at the end of the day without damage. It didn’t rain while…
